Just ate a whole box of chocolates

[KaleToChristmas]

Ironic given my current username. It was a Hotel Chocolat box, sent as a gift in the post. I am on a health kick at the moment and otherwise would not have had them in the house. I caved and ended up eating them all. 155g. Now feel sick. In my defence I have Covid (3rd time this year) and am feeling bored and fed up. I have also eaten veg today, so that's something I suppose.

Please share your similar episodes to make me feel better.

It's only a little box. Now if it were an entire multi pack of crisps, that is, a 12 pack....🤭

No judgement over here. I can't stop eating right now. Not ill, just fed up of always being cold, stressed and knackered. Christmas plans being cancelled all over the place. Food is my solace! And now I really want some Hotel Chocolat treats...

I got given a box of Lindt lindor for my birthday last month. I sat and ate the lot in my (home) office one evening pretending to work and then destroyed the evidence.

Lol

Also have covid and am surprised not to be off food. If I wake in the night, I start craving really strong tastes like mustard and prawn cocktail crisps!!

I've just gobbled a cupcake and 3 chocolate cookie bites. I did eat 2 oranges to balance it as well!

I dined on a whole pack of Cadbury's chocolate fingers today. Will probably do the same tomorrow.

It was the notion of a health kick wotdunnit.

Last night I ate a whole medium Dominos pizza bar one slice and 3 chocolate orange cookies

Ha ha
Thought you meant a whole tub of roses.
It doesn't matter as long as you enjoy them.
It's the guilt that weighs you down.
Do you know how much potatoes weigh.
Forget it.

I once ate a pack of 12 Jaffa Cakes in one sitting. Felt so sick afterwards. I did learn my lesson.

I could easily put away a box of Malteasers though, with no ill effects.

I was talking to a doctor friend about shit you eat when you're poorly and she said she advises people to eat whatever their body is telling them they want at that moment. Any healthy diets can be restarted once you're well again. It came off the back of a conversation about how her son was ill and was mainlining crisps. Something to do with the salt apparently.

@RhubarbFairy so it's actual doctor's orders then...?

I ate the massive Lindt teddy from my advent calendar this afternoon (behind door 24)

I was glancing at thread titles and trying to skim down through the titles so some of the words got jumbled up and I thought this thread said 'just ate a whole box of weetabix' which I would have been astounded at but meh, chocolates are fine.

Well thanks to the log of you I just found myself on the Hotel Chocolat website and I'm now £70 worse off (but I also now have a Velvetiser on the way)

I've been having mince pies for breakfast. Warm, with cream.

I too gave Covid and have eaten like a horse all week.

@RoseAndGeranium
That made me laugh
(Which mince pies?!)

Why am I stopping myself? Tomorrow that’ll be me. It’ll be a good use of the rather lightweight M&S puff pastry ones I’ve been neglecting.

Waitrose Brown Butter & Cognac for pudding after dinner. It started with a coupon and now I’m bankrupting us to feed the habit.
A rotating cast of other supermarket options as well as some homemade for snacks.

I eat chocolate almost every day. I'm afraid I can only enable you.

That's how I took it!

All you chocoholics, can I ask: are you a bit chubby or are you like my annoying skinny colleague who eats sweets all day and weighs around 8 stone. If I look at chocolate I put on (even more) weight.

I ate 3 Krispy kremes before 11am yesterday. I wanted 1 but they only sold them in 3s. Offered one to a colleague but when they said no I just scoffed itand the final one half an hour later.

No, not overweight. I eat fairly healthily and exercise most days, so sweets don't typically impact my weight. Alcohol is the killer for me, though.

I had a doughnut day also! Two delicious cake doughnuts with a latte. 😛
